The TWIN Lighthouses of Margaree Harbour

There are not that many locations where you can easily stop and walk right  up to TWO lighthouses, but you can in Margaree Harbour. So, if you are traveling the Cabot Trail or the Ceilidh Trail , then go right into the village of  Margaree Harbour , to the end of the road at the parking lot for the Margaree Harbour Beach .
Margaree Harbour  has a great sandy swimming beach , a good spot for a walk in the sand, a  roadside picnic by Lawrence's neat general store, it's the spot to relax for a moment , and look at the ocean.
Also as you look at the fishing boats across the Harbour  at Belle Cote, you might as well plan to also travel through Belle Cote and take that Belle Cote Beach Road to enjoy this little gem too.
You have all those colours on those fishing boats, and all those neat names on the boats. Say "hello" to the fishermen (if they're not too busy, of course). Watch because  you are alongside a nesting area for several types of seagulls, and terns, and on the flight path of the eagles, and another beach !!!  Many summer evenings we'll even see whales on the ocean.
